Elon Phoenix athletics has launched a new campaign to encourage all community members to Live the Maroon Life.

Join us in Nashville, Tenn., as we cheer the Phoenix football team in its season-opening game against the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Elon Alumni Association and Phoenix Club have planned a weekend full of events to celebrate the beginning of football season and support the Phoenix.

Elon’s chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the honorary organization for financial information students and professionals, was awarded “Gold chapter” status during the national organization’s annual conference this month in Denver. Elon was one of seven chapters to achieve the honor, which is the highest award level a chapter can receive.

�������޹�����Ʒ chaplain emeritus Richard McBride, Elon trustee Dr. William N.P Herbert ’68 and retired vice president Nan Perkins received Elon Medallions on Aug. 22, 2011, in an annual ceremony that celebrates the highest honor the university bestows on individuals for their meritorious service to the institution.

Town & Country, the oldest continually published general interest magazine in the United States, picked Elon in an 11-page feature story on top colleges in the September 2011 issue. The top colleges were recommended to the magazine by counselors at dozens of private high schools across the country.
